Idle Hours Owlsbury Park

Positiv Very clean campsite, each plot was clearly marked out, toilets were clean and very easy to access, didn’t have to walk too far! Washing up little hut was a lovely touch and very clean! Again easy to find and not far to walk! Friendly staff/people!
Fishing pond was lovely! Benches to sit on around it if you were fishing or if you just wanted to have a sit down! Dogs are kept on leads. Firepit or bbq were free to use if you didn’t have one! Bag of Fire wood could be purchased for £6 if you wanted a fire! We had a lovely time!

Negativ Nothing that we saw this time camping!

Positiv It had everything we needed for a small campsite and the owner was very welcoming. The scenery was really pretty. The toilets and showers were clean. Logs are sold up to 7pm so it’s perfect if you don’t want to drive to the local shop. The Vineyard next door does a really good wine tasting experience and cheese board.

The sites facilities are powered by solar panels, so make sure to take a powerful torch with you for night time, especially one that can be hung, as the showers don’t have lights in them.

There’s only 1 women’s shower and 1 men’s shower. You could occasionally see people queuing but we managed to time it at the right moment so we didn’t have to queue.

Some of the pitches are on a slope, so we chose the flatter pitches, closer to the toilets. But the sloped pitches had such pretty views, I can imagine it’s worth being on a slope to watch the sunset and sunrise.

Negativ Loved everything! Its annoying when people moan about there being few showers as it means they’ve not checked the reviews before booking.

Positiv Beautifully laid out, well kept campsite. A peaceful country setting within a short drive of a local supermarket in Crowborough. The small river on the edge of the site has a meandering path running around it with seats dotted here and there. The toilet block, showers and washing up area were spotless. There were also bins for recycling and rubbish.

Negativ Nothing!

Positiv Small site, lovely and quiet. Surrounded by nature, and good facilities with running water, cleaning station, flushing toilets, showers and chemical waste disposal. Owners were nice. About a 4-5 minute walk from one end of the site to the other. Great sized pitches, can park next to your pitch and fire pits available for free. Picked this campsite for a dark skies area and we certainly got that. We also heard and saw plenty of wildlife.

Negativ We were put on 1 of about 4 plots out of maybe 20-30 total that were on a severe slope, so sleeping was quite difficult and uncomfortable, and also furthest away plot possible from the loos, which was unhelpful since I messaged well in advance to explain I am disabled and didn't want to be too far from the toilets.

Vom Platzbetreiber: Sorry you didn't enjoy your stay at Idle hours ,I would like to say that wherever possible we do try to accommodate guests request as best as we can,although you say you booked and made your request well in advance,it was infact only two before your arrival and at that time we were almost fully booked and the pitch you were on was one of the last remaining.One thing you seemed to have missed out in your review is the conversation we had on your arrival stating the above and so we could accommodate your request of 120 square meters on one of our unused seasonal pitches near the facilities of which you answered was "The pitch down the hill is doable,Can't say we did not try .

Positiv I’ve that this is an adults only campsite and the owners keep it very clean and tidy.

Negativ There is sometimes a queue for the single ladies shower so I think if the campsite is running at full capacity, another ladies shower would be really appreciated but that is my only gripe.

Positiv To me, this campsite was perfect. It was peaceful and the facilities were more than adequate. There was no overcrowding and each pitch had plenty of space. I was welcomed by a very friendly lady who runs the campsite and it's a real suntrap in the evening time. I loved it so much that I will be back again very soon! :)
Ideal for those who still want to get away but don't want to be surrounded by noisy children!
